This is a hollow bead that I made a year ago..it is two sided , the image is Kokopelli that I sculpted and made a mold of. it has an amethist bead at the base along with a charm . The sterling silver chain is 36 inches long. I just love wearing it and get lots of compliments from it.

About Me

I consider myself a multi media artist since I work with so many mediums. I have studied with countless master artists in the contempory art world. I am also a PMC certified artisan and teacher. In addition to PMC and POLYMER clay, I am passionate about designing jewelry and also feel the same about drawing and painting from old sepia toned photographs. I also love to paint watercolor portraits of small children and scenic landscapes from the western PA area where I make my home. I have shown my work in numerous juried exhibits and have accumulated many awards during my artistic career. I currently teach some of the adult education classes at the Monongalia County Schools in West virginia. Currently they are Watercolor, Precious Metal Clay, Calligraphy, and Polymer clay. I am presently employed at THE APPALACHIAN GALLERY in Morgantown West Virginia. I am also a co-founder of the POLYMER CLAY COLLABORATIVE & MIXED MEDIA RETREAT. I hope to post at least once or twice a week on my blog, so please keep me on your bloggers list. I promise to be entertaining and informative.
